•
Front Panel LEDs indicate traffic, power and test status.
Front Panel LAN and Control (craft) ports provide connectivity.
•
Shelf rear panel provides WAN connectivity for the SC-IP as router or LAN-X device.
•

including long-haul (DS1) and short-haul (DSX-1) capability.
•
Provides enhanced security with multi-level password protection.
•
Provides scalable, high performance LAN via 10/100B-T ethernet switch support.
•
Supports software upgrades via TFTP firmware download.
•
Easily configured via the interactive "smart" command line interface or the intuitive, easy-to-
use web interface (HTTP).
•
Can be monitored, configured and managed using standards-based protocols, including Telnet,
SNMP and HTTP (web).
•
Streamlined configuration of multiple SC-IPs via ASCII batch file upload/download.
•
Provides quick access using Telnet "cut-thru" operation to terminal server ports.
•
Provides integrated terminal server ports at the shelf rear panel connector for remote access of

•
Allows standards-based IP application access (Telnet, SNMP or HTTP to remote equipment.
Supports ping on all interfaces.
•
Uses Frame Relay or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to provide link layer (Layer 2)
encapsulation of IP traffic.
•
When pairs of SC-IPs are configured for LAN-extension mode, they provide link layer
encapsulation of ethernet frames for LAN extension between Carrier sites.
•
Allows remote LAN-X configuration of a SC-IP via Remote Default Route configuration.
•
Responds to HPOV polling and Auto Discovery.
•
In LAN-X mode of operation, employs spanning tree protocol to block loops in the network
topology, preventing broadcast storms and similar undesireable network conditions.
Future SC-IP Upgrades
The following features are planned for a future release of the SC-IP. For more information on the
availability and operation of these additional features, refer to later issues of this document or
contact your GDC Sales Representative.

When equipped with an integral modem or an attached modem, provides remote user access
for initial configuration of the SC-IP over a dial-up connection, eliminating "truck roll" costs.
•
When equipped with the integral V.90 modem and with RADIUS enabled, provides additional
security for authentication of dial-up users.
•
Supports major alarm reporting.
